"An author to watch." -- Claire Delacroix

About the Author

Elizabeth A. Vaughan believes that the only good movies are the ones with gratuitous magic, swords or lasers. Not to mention dragons. At the present, she is owned by three incredibly spoiled cats and lives in the Northwest Territory, on the outskirts of the Black Swamp, along Mad Anthony's Trail on the banks of the Maumee River.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo Ends One Story As Another Begins.

And that story is the second trilogy of the Warlands. The Epic of Palin's is contemporaneous with the events of the second trilogy and, ideally, I think, should be read before reading the third book of the second Warlands trilogy. That is, if the reader wants to keep the story lines in temporal order.

This book sees Ezren Silvertongue and Bethrel of the Horse swept from Palin to the Firelander Plains through the confluence of events, a gate spell, and a surge of wild magic and follows their adventures as they journey homewards. Perhaps it is needless to say, but the journey does not go well.

I've never been a fan of the romance genre, but Elizabeth Vaughan has me hooked with her romantic fantasies. Destiny's Star is Book #3 of her "Star Series" and Vaughan takes us back to the Plains from the "Chronicles of the Warlands Series." Avid readers of her work will find this enjoyable and newcomers will be instantly pulled into her wonderful world.

Destiny's Star is a classic love story about one talespinning guy who can't properly sit a horse, and one warrior girl who's shy with men but not with running them through. Swords, magic, love, war, political intrigue, and an unforgettable setting, you can hardly go wrong. Vaughan kept my attention hooked so that I forgot to eat dinner once her book arrived. Definitely worth the read.

I first read the Warprize/Warlord books and then looked for more books from the author and read this trilogy. Until this book, I did not realize that the books were set in the same universe as they take part in distinctly different lands. This book really pointed it out to me. Although I do feel that this book can also stand alone, it added a dimension when having read all of the previous books, and I am waiting (impatiently) for the next book in the series. I like how her hero/heroines are not all cookie cutters of each other, but have distinctly different personalities, and her woman are strong. I've read a lot of books that say the woman can kick butt and then some but then in the scenes the man has to solve their problems or because the woman is strong it causes trouble because she tries to prove her strength. Her h/h both have their own strengths and both get to use them to further the plot along.

NO SPOILERS or plot summaries. This only gets 3 stars because it doesn't keep in line with the rest of this trilogy so far and is too heavily dependent on a different set of books.

This is the third book in this series that starts with Dagger-Star (Star Series, Book 1). I have not yet read the Warprize books- Dagger Star was available on Kindle so I read that and loved it. I have been waiting for the Warprize book 1 to be available and figured I'd be safe reading this series first, because it was supposed to be in the same world but SEPARATE.

This book is not- it overlaps significantly. I know this because I was lost for quite a bit of the book, which was immensely annoying. I'm sure that if you read the other books, then you will LOVE this. But if you haven't, then I recommend reading those and then coming back to this.

Because this story takes place in the Plains, the entire feel of the book is different from the prior two. It was definitely thrilling to spend time with Ezren and Bethral, but the culture was completely different around them. Much of the supporting characters and the plot referenced the other series and the culture of the Plains people was so thick and different that it took time to sort out what on earth was going on. I feel like I missed out on a lot of the payoff of this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful story! filled with magic, romance, thrills and chills.

I liked the characters, even the bad ones. They were well rounded and felt real. The story was a nice continuation of the saga and a good single read as well. Looking forward to more from Ms. Vaughan. Very pleased.

This author uses imaginative twists to surprise and delight her readers. She brings a breath of freshness and creativity to the lives of characters we already know and love with this addition to the saga of the plains.

It does not entertain me to read an explicit descriptionof an older man in a powerful position stabbing a beautifulyoung woman in the heart during a sexual encounter. Thatkind of book belongs in the garbage.
